The Collective Unconcious Needs You!

I got an email from my Galen today who is the webmaster at the excellent Tool trading site Collective Unconcious. He’s looking for some help with maintaining the collection that he hosts on his site: Due to the nuances of realities, http://www.collectiveunconscious.org/ is no longer trading or downloading Tool recordings. If the site were to discontinue updates it would not be what it set out to be back in the… Read More »The Collective Unconcious Needs You!

Tool confirmed for River’s Edge Music Festival

As hinted at the other day, it seems that Tool are really playing the River’s Edge Music Festival on Harriet Island, Minnesota. The gig, which according to the press release is “their only US date of the year” (I presume they really mean to say it’s a one off Tool show without any other dates) is happening on the 23rd & 24th of June. Also on the lineup is Puscifer,… Read More »Tool confirmed for River’s Edge Music Festival

8 Problems but a new Tool record ain’t one of them

Looks like there’s some more news on the alleged secret Tool track Problem 8 (The Riemann Hypothesis) which Blair reported around this time last year as being the “Holy Grail” of Tool collectibles. He posted a couple of images to serve as clues for this track, which may or may not be an April Fools gag. Feel free to start over-analysing now:

Tool & Dave Matthews Band to play Harriet Island Music Festival

In a post that makes me wonder if April Fools Day has come early, it’s alleged on a couple of websites that Tool and the Dave Matthews Band will be headlining the inaugural Harriet Island Music Festival in Minnesota. And here I go thinking Minnesota was an inland state! The festival apparently takes place on the 23rd and 24th of June with Tool to play on the 23rd. Not sure… Read More »Tool & Dave Matthews Band to play Harriet Island Music Festival
